HERMES · Answer

I&#x27;M STARTING TO THINK TAKING 20 PTS IS A GIFT

mws · Answer

Also, Wilson didn&#x27;t play for Arkansas this year.  Bo Wallace for Ole Miss is a pretty good passer, but if you don&#x27;t like him, then I guess it would be Arkansas early in the 2011 season.

mws · Answer

If you like UT, play the 1H line.

I have this game capped at &#x2B;17,  I agree with you as the passing grade %, when divided by the risk offensive engagements from Tenn x the Defensive % of Alabama was around 61% in my System.  Which means Bama should struggle a bit here on defense slowing down the passing game of Tenn....I am leaning Vols here myself

I know it&#39;s been to 21 and back already but wait until tomorrow and you can prob get it again. 20 is extremely great value though.

rr207 · Answer

Remember that Bama lost some players from their backfield to the NFL last year, the secondary is a little young.

Here is a MAJOR issue with taking Tennessee IMO...

The Tennessee defense has allowed 6.2 yards per carry and nine rushing touchdowns in three SEC games.

The UT defense is AWFUL against the run and that should allow Bama to stay on the field and control the pace of the game. What UT can't do here is fall behind and abandon the running game. I do agree that this is the best passing attack that Bama has faced in years (I think a little better than Arkansas's of 2010) and Bama doesn't have that 3rd corner to matchup in the slot with Rodgers of UT. I do think that Fulton and the freshman Collins will see a little more action this week due to the matchups. Patterson of UT is great with the ball in his hands but I don't know how good of an actual WR he is. I really like this UT OL and believe they do a great job of getting rid of the ball. However, without a running game they will be forced to convert a lot of 3rd downs and that is going to be tough against a Saban defense.

Another factor is that Bama is a very good red zone defense and UT may move the ball between the 20's but scoring TD's could be tough without the running game. UT will be without their best RB in this game. I think what people don't realize is that Bama's pass rush is pretty strong and they are a little faster off the edge than they have been. Mosley is a terrific LB that should have a great game against this UT offense. Can UT cause matchup problems for UA? Yes they can and I believe they will take advantage of some of those. But no team since 2008 has come close to Bama without stuffing Bama's run. IF Tennessee gets shredded in the running game then Bama will eventually pull away and force UT's hand.

I am not playing this game but I do lean OVER.

&#xD;&#xA;McCarron has a slight limp but had the injury occurred in practice I don&#x27;t think anyone would have ever known about it. It may affect the boot game a little but all in all I think they are fine.

ApocalypseLater · Answer

did you honestly just call Tyler Bray a legit passing threat???

coming into this year i thought UT was gonna be a surprise team to watch out for... that lasted about 2 games, and then it became clear that they are the same pathetic joke they have been since Manning left the state...

and Tyler Bray... that guy can't throw a fucking ball to save his life...

cesimmns · Answer

as a vol fan I cannot wait until the qb reigns go over toJustin Worley, kid is a natural leader and will make the simple throws that Bray does not make and will not turn it over at the rate bray does, what really sucks is bray is only a junior and I'll have to deal with his awesome play one more year

I hate to see anyone get injured but when Bray went down last week grabbing his knee I honestly got excited that I might get to see Worley.. fml

ApocalypseLater · Answer

hang in there, man... and for the guy who made this thread and called Tyler Bray a "LEGITIMATE PASSING THREAT"... take a look at what his own fans think of him...the guy is a pile of dog shit... nothing else!

ApocalypseLater · Answer

i would be willing to wager even money that Alabama gets at least 1 defensive TD in this game...

rr207 · Answer

Raijon Neal is not expected to play.  Can&#x27;t take a team without their leading rusher, can you?

onthemound#5 · Answer

Bama hasnt played any team worth a crap in 2 years except one team and they played them twice. Won 1 and LOST 1

Must be nice for all these ignorant GUMPS that think they are greatest in the world no matter what. Hell wish my team only had to get up once a year!!

That first half against Miss St. was atrocious. &#xD;&#xA;Bama gets up early and pulls away with the defense pinning their ears rushing Bray all day. Don&#x27;t like the odds here.
